Ducted air conditioning in Speke
In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. For a renovation in Speke, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive.
Ducted systems suit Speke loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Speke sits around 7 miles from Liverpool, inside our Merseyside area. Homes in L24 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Speke
Our North West England guide price for ducted air conditioning is £5,195–£14,195 per system, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North West England labour rates. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Zoned option (motorised dampers or two units for separate floors or room groups) would typically be £7,095–£10,395 here.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
For most houses in Speke, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
We book surveys in Speke at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
